Long before the colors start to bleed
|
I can see the painting come alive
|
Clever like an angel in disguise
|
Moving in and out of reach
|
|
If the candle lights this crooked path
|
Like a lighthouse peering through the haze
|
I will find the river through the rain
|
And I'll reach the water's edge
|
|
Shed your light on me
|
Be my eyes when I can't see
|
Shed your light on me
|
Be my guide so I can see
|
The Bigger Picture
|
|
Like a moth burned by the fire
|
and driven to the flame
|
(Prophecies' a blessing and a curse)
|
I must bare this cross alone
|
There's no one else to blame
|
With each treasure found
|
Another shipwreck's washed ashore
|
I am carried by the current
|
On a slow and steady course
|
|
What If caught in a moment
|
I get lost and can't find my way
|
What if all along i was wrong
|
In every turn, In every way
|
|
Would you talk me off the ledge
|
Or let me take the fall
|
Better to try and fail
|
then to never try at all
|
|
You look but cannot see
|
Talk but never speak
|
You live but cannot breathe
|
See but don't believe
|
|
Wounds that never heal
|
A heart that cannot feel
|
A dream that's all too real
|
A stare as cold as steel
|
|
I've listened to the stories of resentment and disdain
|
I've looked into the empty eyes of anger, fear, and shame
|
I've taken blood from every stone
|
And traveled every road
|
|
When I see the distant lights illuminate the night
|
Then I will know I am home
|
